I have finished my second pair of socks made with the awesome Lollipop Yarn! I totally love this yarn! I have such a hard time deciding what pattern to use with this yarn because the it is so perfect that I feel the pattern has to be just as perfect! LOL

The color way for this pair of socks is called Kitten. I decided to use a pattern called Bryony Socks by Sara Elizabeth Schmidt. I loved the pattern. It is a 4 row repeat that is super simple to memorize. The pattern just gave it that little extra flair with the lace but it doesn’t take away from the beautiful striping of this yarn. I love the way it turned out! Continue reading →

I have finally finished my sweater & have called it my North Carolina Sweater!!! I had a few bumps along the way. But I’m very happy with the end result & I can’t wait to use it!!! It is super warm & big & cuddly! LOL

The sweater was a kit that I received for Christmas a couple of years ago. It was from Mary Maxim. The yarn is Mary Maxim Ragg which is an acrylic yarn. And the pattern is also from Mary Maxim, called Ragg Jacket. It actually knit up fairly quickly. It was done in parts. The back part was of course the longest to complete, but after that it went fairly quickly when I did work on it.

I’ve been doing more shopping on Etsy!!! I just can’t help myself! I love hand made crafts & I love supporting those that are selling them!

First new purchase is another ball of self-striping sock yarn from Lollipop Yarn.

I am so in love with anything & everything that she makes! I just can’t believe how quickly the yarn sells though! She does updates on her shop every few weeks and everything she puts on there sells out within a minute! I kid you not! hmmmmmm Maybe I should keep this shop a secret though…. LOL Continue reading →

I am totally addicted to Lollipop Yarn! I am so glad that I was finally lucky enough to purchase a ball of this yarn!! This color way is called Sentimental Journey. It has my favorite colors, pink and green!! And the yarn is so soft! I just love it! It is definitely one of my all time favorite yarns now! I just hope I can continue to be lucky enough to get a ball here & there. :-)

I had a hard time deciding what pattern to use. I didn’t want it to be too complicated so that the beautiful striping of the yarn would be over powered by the pattern but I wanted something more than the average rib or stockinette stitch socks.
